I'd always known that Islam was not the malicious, vengeful, monolithic bloc that it is often seen to be in the West, but I now know much more about what it IS like, at least through Sardar's eyes -- he illustrates its rich diversity of thought and practice, past and present, and teases out ...             Desperately Seeking the Audience1 review Taylor & Francis, 2002 Invites you to think... and participate The author has done a good job into proposing ways we don't have to remain a passive TV viewer giving ideas of the way we can make out TV programming better.

Sometimes (more often than not, actually) she does the wrong thing. But you know what? So do I. Everybody does, basically. And I loved that she was unafraid to be who she was: flawed, imperfect, funny, paranoid, silly, ...             Desperately Seeking Sully / Isn't It Romantic?

But Mr. Ingermanson did seem quite knowledgable on how to write a good novel, so without allowing my hopes to get too high, I decided to try this one. A few days later, ...             Desperately Seeking Sex and Sobriety3 reviews Paul Pisces Authors OnLine Ltd., 2004 A cautionary story for any sex-obsessed drunken male.
